piezo-

word-forming element meaning "pressure," from comb. form of Greek piezein "to press tight, squeeze," from PIE *pi-sed-yo- "to sit upon" (cognates: Sanskrit pidayati "presses, oppresses"), from *pi "on," short for *epi (see epi-) + *sed- (1) "to sit" (see sedentary). First in piezometer (1820); in common use in word formation from c.1900.

piezo- /pʌɪˈi:zəʊ, ˈpi:zəʊ/ combining form.

ORIGIN: from Greek piezein press, squeeze: see -o-.
